Duh: I broke my template: “autofit body text to placeholder” not working in PPT 2007

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/09/19

Sometimes when you see a solution you have this “duh” moment.

In my case, somehow I broke my Powerpoint template and got autofit disabled: “autofit body text to placeholder” not working in PPT 2007.

    Under the Office Button/PowerPoint Options/Proofing/AutoCorrect Options/AutoFormat As You Type, select the appropriate AutoFit checkbox.

    If that doesn’t work, then View/Slide Master; navigate to the top Slide Master (not any of the Slide Layouts); right-click the text box; choose Format Shape/Text Box, then select “Shrink text on overflow”.

    Good luck!
